  1. Oracal 651 or 751

    If it's a vehicle, I'm always a 751 kind of guy.
  2. sub-contracting

    Use a company that does wholesale only and you don't have to look at them as competition. Sub out the prints, make money doing other stuff that you can handle. There's several Merchant Members on this forum that print that stuff all day long as wholesalers. At great prices.
  3. Do any Merchant Members print on Convex?

    I'm quoting a job for (200) 10" Circles that are going to be on the big plastic garbage cans. They need to have a mega thick laminate on them. It's going on pink trash cans for breast cancer awareness. Just looking to see if it's even an option. Anyone point me towards someone that could...
  4. Finishing of mesh banners

    I know you want to print them in house, but do you have any kind of a canvas shop that you could take them to have them finished for you when you are done that would have a heat welder? I've always subbed those out because I don't know much about the "mesh world". If you had a place over there...
  5. sub-contracting

    I think most smaller shops sub out the big printing stuff. I own a printer, but I wouldn't ever take on the job of printing a wrap when there are shops set up to do it quicker than me. I can keep making money doing other things that I can do quickly and easily, without plugging up my time and...
  6. Some font help please...

    Was trying to have Eric typset this for me, and he didn't know the fonts either so told me to check here to see if anyone knew. He thought maybe they were a freebee or something? Anyone know of anything these are, or even close to would be fine. Customer just sent it to me and I'm trying to...
  7. Will vinyl stick to signacade?

    I was thinking I'd even used removable 3621 on them before, but I KNOW I normally use 3651 and haven't had one problem.
  8. Bigger than a vehicle, but wow.... would you?

    Looks awesome...but me as well being a one man show, I'd probably find someone who I know COULD do it, and sub it to them, or just hand the project to them in exchange for a commission. Just kind of depends how you got your foot in the door I suppose as to how you'd deal with another company.
  9. closed the shop down for 4th.....

    I have a customer that says every time he goes on vacation something bad happens, or someone close to him dies, so he decided to stop going on vacations because it was always a stretch anyway. My theory is that you need MORE vacations, so then that stuff doesn't happen every single time you go...
  10. OFF TO THE HOSPITAL....1 more time.........

    Good luck, make sure you have the gown on the correct way!
  11. Anyone familiar with this supplier?

    Everyone I've ever talked to that's entertained anything from Alibaba did a lot of research and in the end said run fast and don't risk it. Every single thing I've heard from that site was always too good to be true.
  12. B2Sign.com?

    Yessssssssss!
  13. B2Sign.com?

    I just gotta say, I wouldn't even think of chancing it anymore. Signs2Trade is my go to for printing. I wish they'd have adhesive vinyl available, but I use them for banners pretty much non stop. Anything over 4' X 4', I don't even mess with in house anymore. By the time I hem and grommet...
  14. where can i find the back slitting knife?

    I just got mine from YelloTools a week ago. Totally awesome. I had a bigger job that I wasn't sure how was gonna work, and because of that tool, I was able to do it in about 5 minutes with the help of a couple friends.
  15. How to politely ask for deposit before any work is started?

    When they ask me about "let me see something first" I tell them that I quote the job, get the payment, and then start on the design process. Most are totally ok with it, they just need to be informed. People that do have a problem paying up front (half or whole) are shady and never intended to...
  16. how many guys buy banner from china?

    We buy everything from American vendors, where they get it, I have no idea. I try to buy as much as I can that's made in the USA just to support our own struggling country, but I'm sure most of what I use on a daily basis did not come from here. I'm not sure I'd ever even buy online from...
  17. What's your planned schedule for the 4th?

    I headed to Silver Lake Sand Dunes with the family last Saturday, and I'll be up here till next Saturday. We always take this week for our family vacation since I can remember. It's good to get out of the shop for a week and have things settle down. I've had to do some coordinating to my subs...
  18. Where to get orange banner on the roll or 8 -- 6foot x 2foot banners blanks?

    +1 I only do banners if they're last minute or it's just needing one that's little. Anything bigger than a 4' X 6' I have them print now.
  19. Where do you get your digital 24"x18" coroplast signs ?

    FireSprint I hear is good, but I've always used Signs365 if they're different designs, or Signs2Trade if they're all the same.
